Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you a few months ago asking you to carry a prayer for my husband, Alistair, who was facing a serious heart surgery. I was so worried about the operation and the long recovery. I sent the prayer card to your team, and when I received the photograph of it at St. Peter's, it gave me a quiet peace to hold onto. The surgery went well, thank God, and his recovery has been smoother than the doctors predicted. He is home now, getting stronger each day. I truly believe the prayer helped carry us through this difficult time. Thank you for your kind service.
